About this area's water

Did you know
  • Brilliant's original name was "Philipsburgh," laid out in 1819 by Virginia statesman Philip Doddridge.
  • The village took its current name in 1880 from the Brilliant Glass Company, whose factory anchored the adjoining La Grange settlement.
  • Although the Village of Brilliant formally disincorporated in 1993, the water and sewer utility is not a village department at all — it is a separate 'body corporate and politic,' the Brilliant Water & Sewer District…
  • A 2015-2017, roughly $3.6 million capacity project nearly doubled the district's treated-water capacity (0.59 to 1.08 MGD) by adding a third well and three pressure filters coated with manganese-dioxide media.

Now sourced (previously unfound): the district draws from wells first developed in the 1920s (Well No. 1, 1927; Well No. 2, 1945) plus a third well added under a ~2015-2017 capacity project. Raw water receives pre-oxidation with sodium hypochlorite, filtration through three vertical pressure…

Supply stress

Small groundwater system (3 wells, ~2,000 population, roughly 560-766 connections across sources) with a recent history of recurring EPA violations over the yearly water quality report and one 2024 lead service line inventory violation, suggesting operational/compliance strain rather than raw-supply shortage.

Estimated, not measured. No rain gauge has ever stood inside 43913 (Wells Township and Brilliant), so every figure here is worked out from the gauges around it - the nearest ones weighted most. Treat them as close estimates rather than readings.

51,214 days of records, 1878-02-01 to 2026-10-29. Source: NOAA NCEI GHCN-Daily, 3,240 gauges in and around Ohio. A day is "gauged" when a gauge standing inside the boundary reported it, and the value is the mean of those gauges. Otherwise it is interpolated by inverse distance from every gauge reporting within 50 miles. Nothing is carried forward, back-filled or smoothed. Against NOAA nClimDiv county monthly precipitation over 136,848 complete county-months (checked 2026-10-31): correlation 0.9515, median absolute difference 0.217 in a month. Built 2026-10-31 from the Cracked Buckeye precipitation archive. Snow is the softer number — snowfall is measured by hand with a ruler, no agency publishes a gridded county snowfall series, and blowing snow defeats every observer.
